Anyone see this interesting job posting on a stealth startup that is shunning venture capital and looking for former Microsoft employees? Who are these folks?

RE/MAX Allegiance, a real estate brokerage that covers part of Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia, has agreed to distribute its for-sale listings to Zillow.com. Last month, the Seattle online real estate startup announced its first large for-sale listing feed with ERA, part of Zillow’s strategy to populate the site with more listing information.

Technology Crossover Ventures — an investor in Seattle-area companies Zillow.com and Global Market Insite — has raised the largest technology-focused venture fund this year at $3 billion.

Lowell Ricklefs, who left the chief revenue officer position at Global Market Insite in September, has joined online polling startup Toluna as chief operating officer. Ricklefs is relocating to Paris, but plans to set up a North American headquarters for the startup in Seattle or another location.

V2Green’s David Kaplan, whose clean tech startup I profiled last month, talks more about the “smart charging” technology for plug-in vehicles on the GM-Volt blog.

Whrrl, the new mobile mapping and entertainment guide from Seattle’s Pelago, is profiled in TechCrunch, with reporter Mark Hendrickson correctly noting that the service is tough to summarize in one sentence. Here’s more on Whrrl and Pelago — backed with $7.4 million from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos and other — from my story last month.

Seattle’s PayScale has created a new online service called Meeting Miser that attempts to calculate whether a meeting is worth the time. “Make a case for not attending meetings and impress your boss with your cost sensitivity,” the company notes. Apparently, you can also use the tool to figure out how much money co-workers are wasting on bathroom breaks or other activities. Sounds like a good plot for “The Office.”
